Japanese vinyl releases are high quality pressings much sought after by
audiophiles and collectors alike. everything about their releases feels special.
When US audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab first released their series of high
quality pressings the records were manufactured in Japan. The sonic quality of
Japanese pressings is considered to be among the best in the world and in
addition they are beautifully presented, their covers usually printed on better
quality heavy stock paper and often including a bonus lyric insert with dual
language Japanese & English text.

Nearly all Japanese LPs were issued with an ‘obi’ - literally translated this
means ‘sash’ and is derived from the obi (sash) worn around the traditional
kimono dress. This delicate paper strip usually wrapped around the left side of
the album cover often contains marketing information and album content details
all printed in Japanese kanji and ~kana script. Obi designs can be as varied as
the LPs they adorn and some series of obi designs can be as collectable as the
artists’ albums they decorate. ‘Hankake’ (3/4 length obis) are nearly impossible
to find and the ‘Rock Age’ series of obis are especially rare and valuable. Obis
make a unique attractive addition to the overall package and are becoming
increasingly rare especially on LPs from the 1960s and 70s. Their delicate and
disposable nature meant that very early obis were routinely discarded so that now
they can often be worth several times more than the record they accompany.

In addition to Japanese pressings of regular albums there are numerous
Japanese-only releases. Labels and artists often issued exclusive records timed
to coincide with their Far East tour or they re-released back catalogue albums
with a re-designed obi displaying revised graphics and other consumer information.

Regardless of your musical taste Japanese records make a stunning addition to
any collection. Audibly and visually they present the collector with a feast of
delights. Genuine mint condition records complete with inserts and obi are
becoming rarer every day. Whatever the digital age throws at you there is still
a valid opinion that says vinyl sounds best; with Japanese records you get top
quality pressings a tactile picture sleeve that looks stunning and you can sing
along from the lyric insert. This is the real alternative to a download!

Album Notes
The Eagles: Glenn Frey (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Don Felder (vocals, electric & slide guitars); Joe Walsh (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Randy Meisner (vocals, guitarron, bass); Don Henley (vocals, drums, percussion). <BR>Engineers include: Bill Szymczyk, Allan Blazek, Ed Marshal.<BR>Recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida and the Record Plant, Los Angeles, California from March to October 1976.<BR>A steady growth suddenly mushroomed into a monster as the Eagles, along with Fleetwood Mac, epitomized AOR in the early 70s. This record is supposedly a concept album but most of the purchasers merely enjoyed the accessible songs while driving down to the coast in their Volkswagen Caravanettes with 2.4 children. Joe Walsh was added to give gutsy guitar in the wake of the country flavour of Bernie Leaden, while Randy Meisner grew in stature as a writer with 'Try And Love Again' and 'New Kid In Town'. The title track still bites as Henley's voice blends with Walsh's epic solo.

Ranked #37 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time - ...The highlight is the title track, a monument to the rock-aristocrat decadence of the day and a feast of triple-guitar interplay...Q (Magazine) (p.111) - Recorded with new guitarist Joe Walsh, these autobiographical tales of druggy hedonism and angst comprised their strongest suite.
